About the Dance Ambassadors programme
The One Dance UK Dance Ambassadors programme provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into the dance sector. The programme aims to support self-development and employability skills for future career goals. Dance Ambassadors are connected to 'live' projects, as a means to update knowledge, gain valuable experiences and build sustainable networks.
Becoming a Dance Ambassador will provide young people with the opportunity to support One Dance UK and partner organisations with their activities and events. Dance Ambassadors will be encouraged to use their voice and learn how to be a champion of dance, which will underpin all areas of the programme.
Who is the Dance Ambassadors programme for?
One Dance UK's Dance Ambassadors programme is a 9-month programme for young people aged 18-25 from across the UK who are passionate about dance and believe in its power to unite, bring joy, and enhance lives.
We want the Dance Ambassadors programme to reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of young people. We are particularly keen to hear from young people who identify as male and those from Welsh backgrounds. However, we welcome applications from ALL young people looking to explore and navigate a career in the creative industries.
Applicants do not need to be studying or working in dance to be a Dance Ambassador.
